The Home Office publishes data on asylum in the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release’, which can be found on gov.uk.

Data on age disputes raised can be found in table Asy_D05 of the ‘asylum and resettlement detailed datasets’, which is also attached. Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. The latest data relate to the year ending March 2022. Information on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in the 'Research and statistics calendar’ section, on gov.uk (year ending June 2022 will be released on 25 August 2022)

The Home office does not publish a breakdown on the number of age assessments disputed or reassessed.
